mycatcaneatawholewatermelon-dea asked: The Velvet Underground.

First song: Pretty sure it was “Sunday Morning”, but I can’t confirm this.

Favorite song: “Lady Godiva’s Operation”. Dark, brooding, and mysterious. I love Lou’s awkward little vocal interjections.

Favorite Album: Their 1969 self-titled album is their best.

Favorite lyric: All of “Heroin”
